I am looking for any information about Bennajah,or Benengie,Rowley and his ancestors.This is a summary of what u know so far:Bennajah married Susan Anne Hyatt,march 20,1893,at St Francis,Kansas.There they lived in a sod house on the prairie.Apparently,Ben was in partnership with an Alec McCallumb,on a cattle ranch.Ben and Susan had two boys,Arthur(my grandfather)(born 1895) and Jessie,(born 1898)There may have been a half sister,Lucille,as well.
For reasons unknown,Bennajah disappeared,and Susan's brother,
Tom Hyatt,from Michigan,adopted the boys,although they kept the Rowley name.What happened to Susan after that is unclear as well.

About 8 years after dissapearing,Bennajah returned to Kansas,to a Mr.Sharp's ranch,a neighbor next to where Ben and Susan had lived.He only stayed a few days,and was well dressed and with a good horse.He never said where he had been or where he was going when he left.


I would greatly appreciate any info on Ben and his history.I have much data on his descendants,but next to none on his ancestors,or Ben himself.

thankyou
